There have been times when I wanted to group portions of a module, class, or function. Giving names to each of those groupings would be useful, and would be appropriate for python-level changes.
That said, it would probably need more proof in the wild first, so the first step would be getting support in an editor (such as PyCharm), and the second would be an informational PEP on how to standardize the practice, like PEP 257 does for docstrings. https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0257/ For these steps, you would probably have to use a comment or string convention, such as #{{{ or ":(group X ", though I suppose an external file (similar to the stub files for typing) is also possible. If these take off enough that the line noise gets annoying, that will prove the need, and getting support from python itself will be a lot easier. Example code :group C class C1: :group emulateFoo ... :group manageBar def xx(self, bar, name, val=None): :group setupBar ... :group actualXX class C2: ... :group D _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
